20 Ombré Nail Looks to Copy ASAP

Do as Betina does with this look and combine the ombré trend with a minimalistic pink marble effect. Then, finish it off with a chic bronze border. Use a small detailing brush to get the bronze outline and don't forget a top-coat to ensure a glossy finish.

If you’re looking to set yourself apart from the pack, try a horizontal ombré rather than the standard vertical variation. It’s just as easy to execute—just switch up the direction. What's more, you can skip a different polish shade and opt for glitter for the same effect—as is the case here.

Having difficulty creating an ombré nail with a sponge? Try it with dots. Use the tip of a pen or toothpick as a dotting tool, making them more sparse as you make your way toward the cuticle. You might even try experimenting with different sizes of dots or a single row of dots in varying shades of the same color.

Ombré looks great no matter which way it fades. We love this simple but fun pink glitter look and how it subtly peters out to the side instead of a traditional horizontal transition.

Create a unique look by playing with different fade patterns. We don't know about you, but we can't stop staring at this pretty mix of ocean-inspired greens to blues.

A blend of vivid water-colors decorates this artfully designed manicure. While ombre usually fades off to a lighter color, we love how they mix it up with some of the darker colors swirling toward the bottom.

Glitter may be the toughest to remove from nails, but it's actually very forgiving when used in an ombré look. Concentrate the glitter at the tips of nails for a trickle-down effect that sparkles. For a similar shade, try Smith & Cult's Nail Polish ($18) in Dirty Baby.

We love how the shiny pearlescent purple tapers off into a classic, sophisticated nude. Who says you can't have it all? Don't forget to seal it in with a long-lasting topcoat.

These easy-to-recreate metallic gold nails are nothing short of stunning. Most notably, unlike many other ombré manicures, they require just one polish shade and a topcoat to create. Starting with clean nails, lightly paint gold polish from your tips toward your cuticles, stopping before reaching them. Let the sheer color dry and finish with topcoat for a simple-yet-rich, sun-kissed design.

These ombré nails are perfect for the festival season! Use as many bright neon shades as you like, plus there's a cool fade effect to give it some dimension.

Betina is usually known for her minimalistic and eyecatching designs, but we happen to love this mix of different all-over pinky hues. It's a modern update on the popular galaxy-inspired look!

If you can't quite get the hang of the sponging technique, consider opting for the modern take on ombré nails: a different color on each nail. By choosing a series of shades within the same or complementary color families, you'll be able to rock the ombré look without major DIY skills.

Want a view from the clouds without air travel? This sky blue ombré mani offers a picture-perfect look. Plus, the hand-drawn sparkle effect is a cheeky, cute touch.

This cotton candy-inspired ombre manicure looks like the prettiest sky dawn sky. The pink and blue mani by Steph Stone emulates cozy lover inspired vibes. To get the look use Essie's Mint Candy Apple and Muchi Muchi, both $9.

These copper nails have a gradient fade, lots of glitter, and a cartoon-inspired ghost inspired, Yuki, from a talented artist. For a playful twist on an ombre style, try out an almond shape to play up the design.

The wonderful thing about the ombré nail art trend is that it can be worn on all nail lengths. That said, there's no denying that it looks especially gorgeous on extra-long nails. Just look at this lilac manicure. The nude-to-purple fade is subtle yet stunning.

This smokey mauve manicure takes the ombré trend a step further with ultra-fine blending and copper tones flecks. Of course, with such detail comes serious skill, so if you're hoping to achieve the look, you should make a nail appointment stat and bring this photo as your inspo.

Glitter may fade, as seen here, but a stunning accent nail captures our hearts forever. Ombre designs don't have to go all-out and can instead be a subtle gradient. This one just happens to be glitter based.

Yet another example of the modern ombré, these pink ombre nails are a favorite on the 'gram. Nail artist Jessica Washick continues to create mini masterpieces for brands like Nike. While this mani doesn't have a matte finish like her popular jelly nails, we're still full-time swooning over these.

Considering how many options there are nowadays, we gotta say, we're still a sucker for a stunning sunset-inspired ombre pallet. It just works every time. It's almost a great as a spontaneous vacation, you know?
